[0071] Key

[0072] In the “Salt” column, “HBr” denotes a hydrobromide and “ox.” denotes an oxalate. The acid: base molar ratio is indicated opposite.

[0073] The compounds of the invention underwent tests that demonstrated their value as therapeutic substances.

[0074] Thus, they were studied studied as regards their affinity with respect to nicotinic receptors containing the a7 subunit, according to the methods described by Marks and Collins, Pharmacol. 1982, 22, 554 and Marks et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 1986, 30, 427.

[0075] Male OFA rats weighing 150 to 200 g are decapitated, the entire brain is removed quickly and homogenized using a Polytron™ mill in 15 volumes of a 0.32 M sucrose solution at 4° C., followed by centrifugation at 1000×g for 10 minutes. The pellet is discarded and the supernatant is centrifuged at 8000×g for 20 minutes at 4° C. The pellet is recovered and homogenized using a Polytron™ mill in 15 volumes of double-distilled water at 4° C., followed by centrifugation at 8000×g for 20 minutes. The pellet is discarded and the supernatant and the buffy coat are centrifuged at 40 000×g for 20 minutes. The pellet is recovered, resuspended in 15 volumes of double-distilled water at 4° C. and centrifuged again at 40 000×g for 20 minutes, before being stored at −80° C.

[0076] On the day of the experiment, the tissue is thawed slowly and suspended in 5 volumes of buffer. 150 μl of this membrane suspension are preincubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes, in the dark, in the presence or absence of the test compound. Next, the membranes are incubated for 60 minutes at 37° C., in the dark, in the presence of 50 μl of 1 nM [³H]α-bungarotoxin in a final volume of 250 μl of 20 mM HEPES buffer. The reaction is stopped by filtration through Whatman GF/C™ filters pretreated for 3 hours with 0.05% polyethyleneimine. The filters are rinsed with 2×5 ml of buffer at 4° C. and the radioactivity retained on each filter is measured by liquid scintigraphy. The nonspecific binding in the presence of α-bungarotoxin at 1 μM is determined; the nonspecific binding represents about 60% of the total binding recovered on the filter. For each concentration of test compound, the percentage of inhibition of the specific binding of [³H] α-bungarotoxin is determined, followed by calculation of the IC₅₀ value, which is the concentration of compound that inhibits the specific binding by 50%.

[0077] The IC₅₀ values for the purest compounds of the invention are between 0.020 and 0.500 μM.

[0078] The compounds of the invention were also studied as regards their affinity with respect to nicotinic receptors containing the α₄β₂ subunit, according to the methods described by Anderson and Arnericin Eur. J. Pharmacol. 1994, 253, 261 and by Hall et al. in Brain Res. 1993, 600, 127.

[0079] Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 150 to 200 g are decapitated, the entire brain is removed quickly and homogenized in 15 volumes of a 0.32 M sucrose solution at 4° C., followed by centrifugation at 1000×g for 10 minutes. The pellet is discarded and the supernatant is centrifuged at 20 000×g for 20 minutes at 4° C. The pellet is recovered and homogenized using a Polytron™ mill in 15 volumes of double-distilled water at 4° C., followed by centrifugation at 8000×g for 20 minutes. The pellet is discarded and the supernatant and the buffy coat are centrifuged at 40 300×g for 20 minutes. The pellet is recovered, resuspended in 15 ml of double-distilled water and centrifuged again at 40 000×g, before being stored at −80° C.

[0080] On the day of the experiment, the tissue is thawed slowly and suspended in 3 volumes of buffer. 150 μl of this membrane suspension are incubated at 4° C. for 120 minutes in the presence of 100 μl of [3H]-cytisine at 1 nM in a final volume of 500 μl of buffer, in the presence or absence of the test compound. The reaction is stopped by filtration through Whatman GF/BTM filters pretreated with polyethyleneimine. The filters are rinsed with 2×5 ml of buffer at 4° C. and the radioactivity retained on the filter is measured by liquid scintigraphy. The nonspecific binding in the presence of (−)-nicotine at 10 μM is determined; the nonspecific binding represents 75% to 85% of the total binding recovered on the filter. For each concentration of test compound, the percentage of inhibition of the specific binding of ³H]-cytisine is determined, followed by calculation of the IC₅₀ value, which is the concentration of compound that inhibits the specific binding by 50%.

[0081] The IC₅₀ values for the purest compounds of the invention are between 1.4 and 4 μM.

[0082] The preceding results show that the compounds of the invention are selective ligands for the a7 subunits relative to the α₄β₂ subunits of the nicotinic receptor.

[0083] The results of the various tests suggest the use of the compounds in the treatment or prevention of disorders associated with a dysfunction of the nicotinic receptors, in particular on the central nervous system.

[0084] These disorders comprise cognitive impairment, more specifically memory impairment, but also attention impairment, associated with Alzheimer's disease, pathological ageing (Age Associated Memory Impairment, AAMI), Parkinsonian syndrome, trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome), Korsakoff's alcoholic syndrome and vascular dementia (multi-infarct dementia, MID).

[0085] The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the treatment of the motor disorders observed in Parkinson's disease or other neurological diseases such as Huntington's chorea, Tourette's syndrome, tardive dyskinesia and hyperkinesia.

[0086] The compounds of the invention can also constitute a curative or symptomatic treatment for cerebrovascular accidents and cerebral hypoxic episodes. They can be used in psychiatric pathologies: schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, compulsive and obsessive behavior.

[0087] They can prevent the symptoms due to withdrawal from tobacco, from alcohol and from various substances that induce dependence, such as cocaine, LSD, cannabis and benzodiazepines.

[0088] Accordingly, a subject of the present invention is also pharmaceutical compositions containing an effective dose of at least one compound according to the invention, in the form of the base or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, and as a mixture, where appropriate, with suitable excipients.

[0089] Said excipients are chosen according to the pharmaceutical form and the desired route of administration.

[0090] The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may thus be intended for oral, sublingual, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, topical, intratracheal, intranasal, transdermal, rectal or intraocular administration.

[0091] The unit forms of administration may be, for example, tablets, gel capsules, granules, powders, oral or injectable solutions or suspensions, transdermal patches or suppositories. Ointments, lotions, and eye lotions may be envisaged for topical administration.

[0092] Said unit forms are dosed to allow a daily administration of from 0.01 to 20 mg of active principle per kg of body weight, according to the presentation form.

[0093] In order;to prepare tablets, a pharmaceutical vehicle which may be composed of diluents such as, for example, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or starch and formulation adjuvants, for instance binders (polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, etc.), glidants, for instance silica, lubricants, for instance magnesium stearate, stearic acid, glyceryl tribehenate or sodium stearylfumarate, is added to the active principle, which may or may not be micronized. Wetting agents or surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate may also be added.

[0094] The preparation techniques may be direct tabletting, dry granulation, wet granulation or hot melting.

[0095] The tablets may be plain, coated, for example with sucrose, or coated with various polymers or other suitable materials. They may be designed to allow a rapid, delayed or sustained release of the active principle by means of polymer matrices or specific polymers used in the coating.

[0096] In order to prepare gel capsules, the active principle is mixed with dry pharmaceutical vehicles (simple mixing, dry or wet granulation, or hot melting) or liquid or semi-solid pharmaceutical vehicles.

[0097] The gel capsules may be hard or soft, and uncoated or film-coated, so as to have rapid, sustained or delayed activity (for example for an enteric form).

[0098] A composition in the form of a syrup or elixir for administration in the form of drops may contain the active principle together with a sweetener, preferably a calorie-free sweetener, methylparaben or propylparaben as antiseptic, a flavor enhancer and a colorant.

[0099] The water-dispersible powders and granules may contain the active principle mixed with dispersants or wetting agents, or dispersants such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, and also with sweeteners and flavor enhancers.

[0100] For rectal administration, use is made of suppositories prepared with binders that melt at the rectal temperature, for example cocoa butter or polyethylene glycols.

[0101] For parenteral administration, aqueous suspensions, isotonic saline solutions or injectable sterile solutions containing pharmacologically compatible dispersants and/or wetting agents, for example propylene glycol or butylene glycol, are used.

[0102] The active principle may also be formulated in the form of microcapsules, optionally with one or more supports or additives, or with a polymer matrix or with a cyclodextrin (transdermal patches, sustained-release forms).

[0103] The topical compositions according to the invention comprise a medium that is compatible with the skin. They may be especially in the form of aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic solutions, gels, water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions having the appearance of a cream or a gel, microemulsions or aerosols, or alternatively in the form of vesicular dispersions containing ionic and/or nonionic lipids. These presentation forms are prepared according to the usual methods of the fields under consideration.
